Give the peg a quick rub down with fine glass paper/ emery board/ nail board and it should go in a lot easier.
thanks!
Unfortunately, I just noticed there seems to be some sort of paint flaking or missed paint on Conans hair? It hasn't been 30days yet, so I can return it if I want to, but I'd rather find a super easy solution to fix these white lines in his hair, any suggestions? I don't want to return it, but this will bug me kept the way it is.
I finally had my reg arrive yesterday after months of waiting. Then when I was trying to put it together today, the foot peg slid halfway in nice and easy and then all of a sudden I heard *CRACK* and the foot broke completely off!
I called the store that I ordered it from and they were really great about it. They e-mailed me a return label and they're going to send me a brand new one. I think next time I'm going to try putting it together with the statue lying flat on something so that all the weight isn't on the peg. I felt like I was being really careful, but obviously I must have had it at the wrong angle. I checked afterwards and the peg does fit properly in the hole. I feel like a complete moron now, because I knew that you had to be really careful so I should have had someone helping me. The statue is REALLY heavy, and I don't exactly have big muscles since I'm a lady.
Good news, after five tries I finally got it to seat flush! I placed the left foot down first and that helped line up the peg properly and it went right in so if anyone is having trouble getting it to seat flush try that. This piece has detail for days!
K, next time I'm at michaels I will look for that spray, any tips to applying the spray or it's as simple as just spray the area lol? Do you wait til it's dry when you use it?
Oh No Sisko!
When you get your replacement you can try this.
It worked like a charm for me and if you can get someone to help you even better. I did it myself and I was exhausted afterward.
I know! I was so devastated when it happened. I had actually read your post before about putting the left foot down first, so that's what I did. I think that's why the peg slid halfway in pretty easy. But then I had to shift my weight halfway through because the damn thing was so heavy. That must have changed the angle of the peg slightly, and then all the weight came down on it.
I just sent the damaged one back using the return label, so hopefully I'll get the new one next week sometime. I must say, I was pretty blown away by how amazing it looked when I opened the box. It's just an incredible piece, which made it even worse when I broke the bloody thing!
It will be all good. I hope William Mendoza is handling your case, he did an outstanding job with my replacement.

hihi, I'm waiting on my reg too! Where did you order from? I'm still waiting on mine. (I'm in Melbourne btw) First time ordering through the LCS too.
